Toilet chip repair near Ravenshead

Toilet chip repair in Ravenshead, done in place

A crack that leaks can’t be fixed with a cosmetic repair, and we’ll say so if we find one. Chips are rebuilt and colour matched to the glaze, so the toilet stays in place. We’re often asked to fix chips on the pan or rim and marks on the outside of the pan, across porcelain, cisterns & lids and toilet pans.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Avoid dropping heavy items and clean the outside of the pan gently.

Questions from Ravenshead

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

All of Nottinghamshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you come to Ravenshead?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Ravenshead from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How we price toilet chip repair

Repairs from £95. A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your NG15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

The process

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow an hour or two. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the damaged area is cleaned and dried.
  2. We fill and rebuild missing material to the original shape.
  3. We sand it flush.
  4. The glaze is colour-matched and finished.
  5. Finally we polish it into the surrounding glaze.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole toilet, we can give you a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Replacing a toilet means a plumber and sometimes new flooring around the pan, and the matching cistern may be discontinued. A repair leaves it in place. Prices start from £95. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ravenshead. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Damage from dropped items
  • Chips on the pan or rim

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
